Sounds like Trump is drawing a red line. I suggest Nigeria listen.
Maybe Nigeria wants us to come in and get rid of the terrorists for them. Just sit back and watch...
Why would any nation want Trump to invade?
Their government doesn't appear to be doing such swell job. I can't think of a single African nation with a competent government, though. Can you?
America doesn't need to invade, necessarily.
Why is Trump threatening them?
Because they've failed to address the issue adequately.
Trump is President of Earth?!
Nah, they all seem messed up one way or another.
No.
Groups like Open Doors report Nigeria accounts for more Christians killed for their faith than the rest of the world combined, with over 7,000 in 2025 alone.
Nigerian officials and experts emphasize that insurgents target both Christians and Muslims, and the conflict involves complex factors like resource disputes, not solely religious genocide.
That doesn't solve the humanitarian problem, though.
President Bola Tinubu welcomes U.S. counterterrorism help but only if it respects sovereignty. No unilateral invasion.
Analysts note underlying U.S. strategic interests, too, like countering China's growing influence in Africa (e.g., minerals, ports, Belt and Road projects).
Are you on favor of the slaughtering of Christians throughout the world?
This genocide of non-violent people can be prevented by eliminating the offenders.
Who's invading? Think of it as a good house cleaning.
